I think the HAAS overall looks awesome! Heaps of development around the sidepods and front wing. Ferrari ferrari-inspired sidepods.

Are we worried about Sassi ending up at Mercedes? I’m disappointed! We keep dispensing our talent to Mercedes for little mistakes. Okay he couldn’t bring the big development planned late last year, but he did bring us that engine to begin with - which is the closest we’ve been! We need to nurture and respect our talent, not abandon it at the first sign of trouble.

Also, I’m starting to get reeeeaaaaally nervous about our car launch. It makes sense that the SF70-H was developed throughout 2015 during the HAAS wind tunnel loophole... a lot has changed since then. Can we keep pace?

I wonder if it has something to do with Arrivabene's actions on trying to promote younger engineers and employees and encouraging them to be more involved and explore fresh ideas and push limits? Maybe some of the old guard are getting their backs up as their ideas and positions are being challenged. Seems Ferrari have found a replacement for Sassi quite quickly and they've come up with some new ideas already.

The reliability of the power units will be under even more scrutiny this season with the engine limit being reduced from four to three before grid penalties start coming into effect.

Ferrari's season unravelled partly due to reliability issues, but it appears the Scuderia have been learning from their mistakes.

Autosport believe Ferrari engine boss Corrado Iotti has been overseeing the development of a new cylinder head which will be rolled out later in the season without an alloy steel piston concept which was going to be introduced by ex-Ferrari chief Lorenzo Sassi.

I think Ferrari was on to something last year with there aero package. its a shame we had the troubles we did and could not exploit it. I think most of the cars on the grid will look like Ferrari's this season. Look at the over head shot of the new Hass. I know we have a technical partnership, but its the exact same as SF70H. The best part is, the boys over at SKY wont give Ferrari any credit for the concepts.

Mercedes "cape" under the S-duct. SF70-H side-pods. T-wing at the back. More aggressive rear diffuser. All the makings of a mid-field contender given the PU too. Can't say that about their drivers.....well....at least one of them.

It's already clear from the new launches that there will be many cars that will copy last year's sidepod design. Ferrari will need to pull something out of the bag to have any chance of competing against Mercedes.

No body designs cars like ferrari from rd cars to f1 look at mclaren rd cars poor copies all inspired at maranello side pods inlets etc etc we will have somthing unique on the grid this is ferrari dna to lead in design and not to follow.

I just want to add something. Everyone is talking about reliability. We have 3 engines, which is about 7 races per engine. Maybe its better to sacrifice one race, get 1 engine, which will reduce about 2 races per engine, this can be a much more powerful engine, which will give us a better chance to win.
Even the race we sacrifice, we can do it in a place where its easy to overtake. Look at last year, when Hamilton just finished on the podium in Brazil after starting in the pitlane! If we have a powerful engine, then we can really take the fight to mercedes. Engine can last 5, not 7, then take 1 more engine! Sacrifice 1 race. I would do this in our situation at Ferrari.

Exactly, I thought about it too, I wonder if Ferrari took such a possibility into consideration, it could turn out to be our ace from the sleeve...
